The Best Cafés in Linz
The lovingly designed pallet furniture and the plant troughs give the place a feel-good atmosphere. The fact that it also serves one of the best espressos in town as well as filter coffee is the icing on the cake. Speaking of cream: the pastries taste like grandma's.
The people of Linzer are in French heaven - the flair of the COCO is unbeatable. Friendly service, excellent moules frites and also the wine advice is "extraordinaire". In addition, warm cuisine all day. Sweet tip: Tarte au citron and macarons.
Trendy, hip establishment in the heart of the old town, popular with free spirits, artists and students alike. Hedonists particularly enjoy sitting outside, watching the hustle and bustle of the old town and sinking into pastry bliss.
The fact that Wiener Straße is regularly stormed by breakfast enthusiasts is due to Café Bohne. A large selection of coffee specialties, creative and unique breakfast variations, and Brandl pastries attract Linzers. Reservations are recommended.
Bernd Himmetsberger doesn't give up until he has found the perfect coffee blend. He is equally uncompromising when it comes to the provenance of the food in the café. He knows many farmers personally and grows his own wine. All-time favourite: Breakfast No. 3.
The Traxlmayr is an institution, has existed for more than 175 years and has retained its Viennese coffee house charm. The selection of newspapers (more than 100 current issues) is unique, as is the location with a beautiful guest garden on the promenade.
When the scent of coffee wafts over Südbahnhofmarkt and a line of people stands in front of the bunkhouse at Marktplatz, Kurt Traxl is probably preparing one of his popular coffees. Traxl's delicious blends, expertise and wit are unbeatable.
Delightful restaurant on Pfarrplatz that brings together people with and without disabilities. The homemade pastries such as Apfelschlangerl or Rahmkipferl are in a class of their own, and you could spoon the milk foam on the cappuccino all day long.
At the gates of Linz, right by the Danube, Le Bonbon delights with French specialties and pastries. Good coffee is just as much a matter of course as the oven-fresh croissants, which you can enjoy sweet or savoury with ham.
Trendy and casual café for the young scene in Linz. Located right next to the music theatre, guests look forward to fair trade coffee, perfectly prepared by the barista. The breakfast menu takes the palate on a journey around the world.
The main street is pulsating again. This is also thanks to the café, which attracts many young, hip people. It's hard to find more coffee variations in Linz. This is just as much in keeping with the spirit of the times as the chic guest garden, with a spray-painted ocelot as a wall motif.
The vaulted interior is just as impressive as the guest garden. There you can simply watch the hustle and bustle and sit back contentedly. A hearty breakfast with ham and eggs or Semmerl (rolls) with homemade jam contribute to the relaxation.
A pleasant bonus for Ebelsberg, which is not least due to the very friendly staff. But the breakfast menu also demonstrates a melange of tradition and modernity. Classic breakfasts with ham and soft egg are just as delicious as bagels and peanut butter.
Carina and Tom Hausknecht describe themselves as "old gastro hands" from the old town. They really know how to always put a smile on the guest's face by means of perfect service and beverage expertise. Very good omelettes, sandwiches - and espresso.
Intoxicatingly good store in Magazingasse, where coffee craft meets hempisserie. Croissants with hemp nougat cream boost endorphin production and simply make you happy. Accompanied by an exquisite espresso from the fine portafilter machine. Perfect.
Actually, you could quietly start studying again, some guests probably think as they sit by the pond on the university campus. A cool location with an equally well thought-out menu. Praiseworthy: porridge with oat milk - not only for vegans!
The Rosso is one of the best fish restaurants in Austria. But also the Italian coffee and the excellent pastries inspire. None other than patron Ingmar Goetzloff's mother bakes them fresh almost daily, bringing back childhood memories.
One of the highlights on Klammstrasse! On nice days, the breakfast aficionados sit in the small but chic guest garden, watch the petanque players and calmly put together their individual breakfast using a modular system. Top service.
The place on the Danube, where the sun shines especially long and bathes the terrace in warm light, is already something special. But breakfast and omelettes are also good. Brunch is available until 1 pm. Perfect for reading one of the many daily newspapers.
Dwarf snoozing on the Grottenbahn or enjoying Linzer Torte and a view. Both are possible: first experience a ride on the dragon and then visit a popular café above the rooftops of Linz. Fun on another level.
